Actually, reviewing my e-mails, it looks like they actually tried to charge me a weekly rate of $335.28 ON THE TESLA.
So the entire "Supplier's Choice" discount advertised on #Priceline just never got applied in the first place. It was entirely fraudulent, along with the different and conflicting insurance they sold me.

First off, the rental offer itself. #Priceline listed it as "Supplier's Choice - Electric" with an all-in total of $243.51. Really good deal compared to all the other $500+ cars being quoted.
During booking they offer "collision damage coverage" for an extra $78.
The thing about car rentals in the US is that they run off of hard sells of redundant insurances to exhausted travelers who don't know better. I am willing to pay $78 to make those go away.
That was my first mistake.

I just got back from a week-long trip to Long Island and I have some VERY ANGRY thoughts about #Hertz Car Rental (and also #Priceline) and how they managed to turn a $243.51 rental into a $794.24 rental through a bunch of incredibly underhanded sales tactics that should be illegal, but probably aren't, because "personal responsibility" is the new "buyer beware".

2015: #Sanders Statement on #TaxDodging Companies
April 9, 2015
BURLINGTON, Vt., April 9 – "Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the Senate Budget Committee ranking member, today issued the following statement on new data showing the extent to which some American companies are avoiding taxes:
"'I applaud Citizens for Tax Justice for releasing new data today revealing the unfairness of our tax system and the fact that a number of the biggest and most well-known corporations in America continue to pay little or nothing in taxes.
"'At a time when we have massive #wealth and income #inequality, and when #corporate profits are soaring, it is an outrage that many large, profitable corporations not only paid nothing in federal income taxes last year, but actually received a rebate from the IRS last year.
"'Instead of balancing the budget on the backs of the #elderly, the #children, the sick and the #poor, as the Republicans in Congress have proposed, we need a tax system that demands that large, profitable corporations and the wealthy start paying their fair share in taxes. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the coming months to make certain that happens.'
Top Ten Corporate Tax Dodgers from Citizens for Tax Justice’s Report
1. Not only did media giant #TimeWarner pay nothing in federal income taxes last year, it received a rebate of $26 million from the IRS even though it made $4.3 billion in U.S. profits.
2. #CBS made $1.8 billion in U.S. profits last year, but instead of paying federal income taxes it received a rebate from the IRS of $235 million.
3. #Xerox made $629 million in U.S. profits in 2014, but received a tax rebate of $16 million from the IRS.
4. #Prudential Financial made $3.5 billion in U.S. profits last year, but instead of paying federal income taxes, it received a tax rebate of $106 million from the IRS.
5. The toy maker #Mattel made $268 million in profits last year, but received a tax rebate of $46 million from the IRS.
6. #Priceline.com not only paid nothing in federal income taxes last year, it received a tax rebate of $9 million, even though it made $73 million in profits last year
7. #PacificGasAndElectric not only paid nothing in federal income taxes last year, it received a tax rebate of $84 million from the IRS even though it made $1.8 billion last year.
8. Wireless technology maker #Qualcomm made $3.2 billion in U.S. profits last year, but instead of paying federal income taxes, it received a refund from the I.R.S. of $98 million.
9. #GeneralElectric made over $5.8 billion in profits in the U.S. last year, but paid just 0.9 percent of that amount — less than one percent — in federal income taxes.
10. #Jetblue Airways made $615 million in U.S. profits last year, but paid just 0.4 percent of that amount — less than half of one percent — in federal income taxes.

I'm looking at hotels etc. in Las Vegas - wow, have the prices ever gone up! We had a trip booked in March 2020 that never happened, and I am looking to go in the fall.
I hate to spend a ton of money on a hotel but want clean, convenient location (near the convention centre or transit to get there), and a pool. We need 2 rooms or a suite with 2 bedrooms.
#Priceline.com - positive experiences? Hotel recommendations? -
name and shame. I won’t go into another #Priceline.
Trent Twomey from the Pharmacy Guild is a Liberal party shill who failed to declare a conflict of interest when he sat on a panel deciding what businesses should receive regional jobs grants. His wife and business partner also failed to declare their conflict of interest and received $2,415,400 to build a $5 million pharmacy distribution facility.
The Auditor General found they failed to declare their conflicts. What happens. Nothing.
They are all crooks.

I had my flu vaccination, and COVID booster today.
All went well until just now - a follow-up email from #Priceline pharmacy urging me to make sure that I have the COVIDsafe app installed on my phone 😂Don't they know it was pulled because it was abso-Morrison-lutely useless??
-
I presume the revenue for #Priceline will decrease but has anybody managed to come up with a justification for this argument?
Does the sign just assume that Priceline is one of my loved ones?

I'm renting a car to use in St. Louis next week. You might find my experience of trying to go through #Priceline a good cautionary tale.#Budget #USTravel
